Smooth Frizz Free Locks

Finally, if you want to wear your hair out and about, opt for a smooth curl out with organic styling aids.  A curl control concoction will give you just the definition you need with a shiny finish. 

Utilize one or more of these three fall trends this season to create your best looks of the year! Use them all in one day or alternate these trends for variety in your style regimen. Enjoy!

Styling Curly Hair Is Full of Surprises! Here’s How You Can Take Control of Your Curls!

Don’t let those curls get the best of you.  It’s time to take control of your hair and you CAN with the right styling products for curly hair.   With the right combination of products utilizing tried and true techniques, you can have tame curls or voluminous curls based on the look you want!  Here are some helpful tips to show those curls who’s boss!

1. Be Consistent in your Methods

Having lasting results requires consistent methods of hair care.  Good hair care products are a must, but if you only use them every now and again, you will not maximize their benefits.  Get the most out of your products by using them consistently.  Cleanse your hair at least once a week, follow with a healthy conditioner, use a leave in moisturizer and then you are ready to style.

2. Use Gentle, low pH products

When styling curly hair, use gentle products that will NOT cause a build up which hinders the styling process and can greatly impact your results.  Products that are near the pH balance of your natural hair are better at ensuring the results you are looking for.  CURLS Products for Curly hair are an excellent product brand for caring and styling your hair.

3. Use the smooth or shake method to achieve the best results.

When styling your curls, you have options.  Use the Curls Curl Gel-les’c for voluminous curls.  Apply to your strands after cleansing and conditioning by smoothing along the hair shaft.  Once dry, shake your hair for more and more volume.  For smoother curls, utilize the Blueberry Bliss Curl Control Jelly and smooth along the hair shaft with “prayer hands” for well defined, frizz free curls.  Finish either look with the CURLS Passion Fruit Curl Control Paste on your edges and/or ends for definition and medium hold.  For maximum hold, use the Blueberry Bliss Curl Control Paste.

These techniques along with these high caliber products will have your hair in its best condition and on it’s best behavior!

Children live very active lives.  Like us they rise early in the morning and prepare for their day. Some of them go to before school programs, and then endure a full “work day” of school followed by homework time or after school care activities and sports.  With a day like that, it’s no wonder they come home with dry hair even after you carefully moisturized their strands that morning.  Your child needs something that will last them the full day.  Now this doesn’t guarantee that their hairstyle will last, but it does mean their hydration level will remain intact.

The L.O.C Method is one way to keep your child’s hair curly hair fully moisturized.

L- Leave in Conditioner

After Cleansing and Conditioning your child’s curly hair, apply a leave in conditioner for kids like CURLS Curly Q Moist Curls-Curl Moisturizer/Detangler to your child’s strands and finger comb throughout or use a comb if you wish.  This process is very important as the leave in conditioner will remain on the hair.  Leave in Conditioners are light but have just th

e right amount for a daily dose of moisture.

O- Oil

The next step is to apply an oil. The Mimosa Curly Q Elixir is the perfect oil for children’s hair.  Apply this oil after applying the leave in conditioner.  The oil in this process acts as a sealer.  It has moisturizing elements also but it will seal the moisture into the hair before any styling is done to the hair.

C- Cream

The final step is applying your cream stylers.  You may also use a gel if that is what is best for your child’s hair.  This is the last and final step because once your child’s hair has been properly moisturized it is prepared to behave during the styling process.

Keep a close eye on your child’s curly hair care patterns to see what is best for them.  This method can actually be done every day or as needed.  Have fun with it!
